Drawing is never an end in itself. It is a chart, an index, in diary-like form, of fragmented poetry, uncollected prose, architectural visions, installation ideas, etc. The viewer has to pick up where I leave off, in order to complete the puzzle, at his/her own will.

this series of drawings grew out of the need to stepaway from the constant stimulation of external reality,to return and observe inwards, within the forest of soul& consciousness. the book took over two years of dailywork to create, working in a non-linear fashion, slowlyretouching each drawing. experiments which began yearsbefore, took shape & form, leading to the creation of apseudo-mythological language, of an esoteric nature.
